Description
This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 201410136863.1 filed in China on Apr. 8, 2014, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a connector structure, and particularly relates to a connector structure having a flexible connecting piece.
2. Description of Related Art
With the rapidly progressing development of technology, portable devices such as a notebook computer and a tablet computer have been broadly adopted in daily lives. In general, the portable devices require exposed connectors as a medium for electrical connection to other electronic devices. Therefore, even when not in use, the connector is still electrified. Thus, when a user is situated in a damp environment and uses the portable device for a period of time, not only the issue of short circuit arises, but elelctrolytic phenomenon also easily happens at terminals of the connector.
A connector structure is provided, which is switchable via a floating structure.
A connector structure is provided, adapted for connecting with an external connector. The connector structure includes a chassis, a first electronic assembly, a flexible connecting piece and a second electronic assembly. The chassis has an opening. The first electronic assembly includes a first pin-set. The flexible connecting piece is located on the surrounding of the first pin-set, and the first electronic assembly is connected with the chassis by the flexible connecting piece, so that first pins are exposed from the opening. The second electronic assembly is located inside the chassis and includes a second pin-set, wherein the second pin-set is located below the first pin-set and keeps a distance from the first pin-set. The external connector is electrically connected with the first pin-set for deforming the flexible connecting piece, such that the first pin-set moves downward and is electrically connected with the second pin-set.
Based on the above, since the first electronic assembly is connected to the chassis via the flexible connecting piece and keeps a distance from the second pin-set of the second electronic assembly, the first electronic assembly and the second electronic assembly remain a broken circuit when the external connector has not been connected with the first electronic assembly. Furthermore, when the external connector is connected with and presses the first pin-set of the first electronic assembly, not only the flexible connecting piece is forced and deformed, but the first pin-set is also able to move downward to be electrically connected with the second pin-set of the second electronic assembly to realize the state of electrical conductance.
Accordingly, the connector structure provides the first electronic assembly as the floating switch between the external connector and the second electronic assembly via the flexible connecting piece, so as to achieve the effect of electrical connection or broken circuit. Thus, when not in use, the connector structure is exposed from the chassis with the non-electrified first electronic assembly, and thereby the condition of short circuit or electrolysis does not happen even if exposed to a damp environment.
In order to make the aforementioned and other features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, several embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
The accompanying drawings are included to provide further understanding, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.
In the embodiment, the chassis 110 has an opening 112. The first electronic assembly 120 includes a first pin-set 122 and a first substrate 124. The first substrate 124 has a top surface 124 a and a bottom surface 124 b opposite to each other, and the size of the opening 112 is greater than the size of the first substrate 124.
The first pin-set 122 includes a plurality of first pins 122 a and a plurality of second pins 122 b, wherein the first pins 122 a and the second pins 122 b are disposed respectively on two surfaces opposite to each other of the first substrate 124. More specifically, the first pins 122 a are disposed on the top surface 124 a of the first substrate 124, and the second pins 122 b are disposed on the bottom surface 124 b of the first substrate 124. In addition, the first pins 122 a and the second pins 122 b respectively penetrate the top surface 124 a and the bottom surface 124 b of the first substrate 124, so that the first pins 122 a correspond respectively to a plurality of second pins 122 b and are electrically connected to the plurality of second pins 122 b.
Referring again to FIG. 1 , the second electronic assembly 140 is disposed within the chassis 110, and the second electronic assembly 140 includes a second pin-set 142 and a second substrate 144. The second pin-set 142 is located beneath the first pin-set 122, and the second substrate 144 is disposed within the chassis 110. The second pin-set 142 has a plurality of third pins 142 a, and the third pins 142 a are disposed on the second substrate 144.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 1 , the first pins 122 a in the first pin-set 122 faces away from the second pin-set 142, and the second pins 122 b faces the second pin-set 142, wherein each of the second pins 122 b has a convex contour, while each of the third pins 142 a has a concave contour. Therefore, by means of the structural feature of complementary contours, the second pins 122 b properly correspond to the third pins 142 a. However, the embodiment does not impose limitation on the contour configuration of each of the pins, which means a contour configuration that enables proper connection of the second pins with the third pins is applicable to the embodiment.
In the embodiment, the external connector 200 is, for example, a Pogo Pin, but the invention is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 1 , when the external connector 200 has not been connected with the connector structure 100, the first electronic assembly 120 is maintained at a first position P1 in a floating state via the flexible connecting piece 130. Meanwhile, the second electronic assembly 140 is located beneath the first electronic assembly 120. The second pin-set 142 is away from the first pin-set 122 and keeps a distance d1.
Next, referring to FIG. 3 , when the external connector 200 is electrically connected with the first pins 122 a, the first substrate 124 of the first electronic assembly 120 is pressed to move downward from the first position P1 to a second position P2 along a first axial direction L1 while deforming the flexible connecting piece 130. Now the second pins 122 b move downward for a distance d1 to be electrically connected with the third pins 142 a. In addition, the embodiment defines in FIG. 3 that a second axial direction L2 is perpendicular to the first axial direction L1. As shown in FIG. 3 , each of the second pins 122 b has respectively a width W1 in the second axial direction L2. So that the second pins 122 b and the third pins 142 a are correspondingly connected properly, the deformable range of the flexible connecting piece 130 along the second axial direction L2 is smaller or equal to half the width W1 of each of the second pins 122 b in the embodiment. Thereby, the second pins 122 b are able to be limited by the deformation range of the flexible connecting piece 130 and be connected with the third pins 142 b more accurately.
Next, when the external connector 200 no longer presses and is moved away from the first electronic assembly 120, the flexible connecting piece 130 drives the first electronic assembly 120 away from the second electronic assembly 140 via resilience, so that the first substrate 124 is repositioned to the state as shown in FIG. 1 . That is, the first electronic assembly 120 is able to reposition to the state not pressed by the external connector 200 via resilience of the flexible connecting piece 130, i.e. repositioning from the second position P2 to the first position P1, so that in the connector structure 100 that is not in use, the first electronic assembly 120 and the second electronic assembly 140 resume the state of broken electrical circuit.
The connecting structure 100 of the embodiment is disposed on the base 10, and the electronic device 20 is detachably mounted onto the base 10, such that the base 10 is electrically connected to the electronic device 20 via the connector structure 100 to achieve the effect that the electronic device 20 performs data transmission or function expansion with the base 10 via the connector structure 100.
Based on the above, in the invention, since the first electronic assembly is connected to the chassis via the flexible connecting piece and keeps a distance from the second pin-set of the second electronic assembly, the first electronic assembly and the second electronic assembly remain in the state of broken circuit before the external connector is connected to the first electronic assembly. Furthermore, when the external connector is connected with and presses the first pin-set of the first electronic assembly, not only the flexible connecting piece is forced and deformed, but the first pin-set is also able to move downward to be electrically connected to the second pin-set of the second electronic assembly, so as to realize the state of electrical conductance. Accordingly, the connector structure provides the first electronic assembly as the floating switch between the external connector and the second electronic assembly via the flexible connecting piece, so as to achieve the function of electrical connection or broken circuit. Thus, when not in use, the connector structure is exposed from the chassis with the non-electrified first electronic assembly, so that the condition of short circuit or electrolysis does not happen even if exposed to a damp environment.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
